Job description

Americans for Prosperity (AFP) is the premier grassroots organization focused on advocating solutions to the country’s greatest challenges. We recognize that tens of millions of Americans are frustrated with the extreme partisanship in government that keeps common‑sense reforms from being passed, and instead seek to stand with policy leaders who are committed to finding a better way.

Americans for Prosperity is part of the Stand Together philanthropic community.

As a Regional Field Manager (internally referred to as a Grassroots Engagement Director) you will identify, recruit, and engage grassroots leaders in Lincoln or Omaha, mobilize them to take action, and drive policy reforms that open opportunities for all.

How You’ll Contribute

• Identify activists in various parts of the state who are currently – or could become – leaders in their local communities, as elected officials or citizen organizers and motivate them to advocate for change.
• Equip these local leaders to advocate for changes that are consistent with principles AFP believes in. You will do this, in part, by connecting them to the training and other resources of AFP.
• Organize events where you and other activists can engage the public through phone calls, social media, walking through neighborhoods to talk with people face‑to‑face. You’ll also be free to innovate, by creating fun or unique ways to reach people to educate them on public policy issues and initiatives.
• Ensure that AFP stays in regular contact with our activists to keep them motivated, educated, and active.
• Manage part‑time canvassing contractors including but not limited to time management, compliance with laws and regulations, and best practices.

What You Will Bring

• Passion for people and can build relationships quickly with people from all walks of life and understand how to inspire and motivate them.
• Knowledge of state and federal public policy landscapes.
• Self‑motivation, always looking for the best way to use your time to accomplish objectives.
• Organization skills and the ability to keep multiple events and activities on track for yourself and the people you engage to help you.
• Works well with a team of people, including AFP staff and activists you engage.
• Excitement to canvass neighborhoods and make phone calls for AFP priority initiatives and AFP Action endorsed candidates, as well as motivate and coordinate volunteers to do the same.
• A valid driver's license to be able to travel as needed to meet with people in your area and across the state, as needed.
• Willingness to work a flexible and changing work schedule, including evenings and weekends as needed.
• Integrity, humility, and an entrepreneurial attitude.
• Enthusiasm to contribute to Stand Together's vision and principled approach to solving problems, and a commitment to stewarding our culture, which champions values including transformation and innovation, entrepreneurialism, humility, and respect.

Standout Candidates Will Bring

• Experience in grassroots advocacy, community organization, and/or political campaigns.
• Volunteer or staff supervisory experience.

What We Offer

• Competitive benefits: Enjoy a 6% 401(k) match with immediate vesting, flexible time off, comprehensive health and dental plans, plus wellness and mental health support through Peloton and Talkspace.
• A meaningful career: Join a passionate community of over 1,300 employees dedicated to improving lives and driving innovative solutions to complex social challenges.
• Commitment to growth: Thrive in a non‑hierarchical environment that empowers employees to discover, develop and apply their unique talents.
• Competitive compensation: Our approach rewards the value you create through competitive salaries and bonus opportunities, allowing you to share in the success you help drive.
